With her “focused, beautifully centered” playing (Allan Kozinn, the New York Times), violist Jessica Meyer is a versatile performer who has been featured as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral player throughout the world.
As an advocate of new music, Ms. Meyer has been involved with many different projects around New York City – including premieres of works for solo viola at Merkin Concert Hall and the MATA Festival. Equally at home with many other styles of music, she has also appeared with tap dancer Savion Glover and his jazz band at the Joyce Theater, B.B.

Passionate about education, Jessica also conducts many workshops for hundreds of public school students and adults throughout the area for the Lincoln Center Institute, the Little Orchestra Society, and the Hudson Valley Philharmonic. Ms. Meyer earned her Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from The Juilliard School.
